Honda Shine 100 DX vs Honda Shine 100: Is the extra ₹6,000 worth it?

Honda Shine 100 DX vs Honda Shine 100: Design
On first glance, both motorcycles sport the same fundamental silhouette and commuter-oriented proportions. The DX variant, however, receives a few updates to take its visual presentation up a notch. A chrome bezel framing the headlamp, a muffler guard finished in chrome, and a blacked-out grab rail lend it a marginally more upscale appearance over the standard model.

These updates, while subtle, serve to set the DX apart from the base Shine 100, which persists with a more plain, functional design. For the colour palette, the Shine 100 DX gets four colors: black, red, blue, and grey, each with new graphics to complement its new theme. The regular model, on the other hand, has five color combinations, providing some additional options.

Honda Shine 100 DX vs Honda Shine 100: Features
Among the most useful of the Shine 100 DX's updates is its shift to tubeless tyres over the tube-type configuration on the base Shine 100. The DX model also gets a new LCD instrument cluster, taken from its larger sibling, the Shine 125.
It shows real-time fuel efficiency, distance to empty, and service reminders. It omits the gear position indicator found on some more expensive models, but it does give the otherwise basic setup a dash of modernity. The side-stand engine cut-off system has also been added to the Shine 100 DX, which improves rider safety — something the regular model lacks.

Mechanically, they are the same. They have the same 98.98 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that is matched to a 4-speed transmission.

One minor but welcome enhancement in the Shine 100 DX is the bigger fuel tank. The capacity has now been raised to 10 litres, a step higher than the 9-litre tank in the base model. Although the increase is small, it means fewer refuelling stops in the long run — an ergonomic consideration based on customer feedback, states Honda.
Honda Shine 100 DX vs Honda Shine 100: Price
The Shine 100 DX costs ₹74,959 (ex-showroom), which is ₹6,000 higher than the regular Shine 100's price of ₹68,862 (ex-showroom). Although the increase in price takes it to the vicinity of more premium models such as the Hero Splendor, the host of added features — tubeless tyres, digital console, safety features, and cosmetics — go a long way in justifying the extra cost.

Toyota, Honda brace for profit falls as US tariffs, strong yen weigh
Toyota Motor and Honda Motor are expected to report weaker first-quarter earnings this week, as U.S. import tariffs and a stronger yen weigh on profits despite solid demand for hybrids in their biggest overseas markets. Japanese automakers face growing uncertainty in the U.S., where tariffs on imports are pushing up vehicle prices and testing the resilience of consumer demand. Investors will be watching for clues on how Japan's two largest automakers are offsetting such burdens. Toyota, the world's top-selling automaker, is forecast to post a 31 per cent year-on-year drop in operating profit to 902 billion ($6.14 billion) yen on Thursday, according to the average estimate of seven analysts polled by LSEG. That would mark its weakest quarterly result in more than two years. Honda is expected to report a 36 per cent decline in operating profit to 311.7 billion yen on Wednesday, its second straight quarterly drop. The automaker has already forecast a 59 per cent fall in full-year profit. Both companies face the prospect of 15 per cent tariffs on Japanese auto imports into the U.S. from levies totalling 27.5 per cent previously, following a bilateral trade deal last month. Other Japanese automakers and suppliers have also flagged weaker earnings, citing the same pressures from tariffs and the stronger currency compared to the same period a year ago. "The first quarter is going to be a rough one for Toyota," said Christopher Richter, autos analyst at CLSA. "Things should get easier going forward," he said, citing some relief from the lowered tariffs. Particularly Honda's reliance on the U.S. has deepened in recent years as sales in other regions falter. Outside of the U.S., both companies produce key models for the U.S. market in Canada and Mexico. For Honda, the U.S. accounted for around two-fifths of total sales in the first half of the year. Its global sales fell 5 per cent over the period, dragged down by double-digit declines in China, Asia and Europe. Toyota's global sales rose 6 per cent over the period supported by strong demand for petrol-electric hybrids which typically carry higher margins than conventional petrol cars. Its Camry and Sienna hybrids remain strong sellers in the U.S. The company has also performed better in China in recent months, posting a 7 per cent year-on-year increase in vehicle sales over the first half of the year. Honda said in May that it was scaling back its investment in electric vehicles given slowing demand and would be focusing on hybrids with various revamped models. It had earlier delayed plans to build an EV production base in Canada due to slowing demand for electric cars. Investors will be looking for updates from both companies on their pricing strategy and any revisions to full-year forecasts. The Japanese automakers have been taking measures such as transfer pricing to help alleviate the burden from the import tariffs, CLSA's Richter said. Shares of Toyota are down 16 per cent so far this year, while those of Honda are flat.
